A probable beginner's mistake

A probable beginner's mistake

[emm.charpentier]

I'd have sworn that org could evaluate inline "throwaway" code. But I seem to be mistaken.

The following :
================================================================
#+options: toc:nil author:nil

For the life of me, I can't explain this:

#+name: foo
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports code :var x=3
  (+ 2 x)
#+end_src

Inline call to a predefined function : call_foo(x=4). Works.

Inline "throwaway" code : src_emacs-lisp((+ 2 3)). Does *not* work.

What the...

================================================================

exports to (UTF8 buffer)

================================================================
For the life of me, I can't explain this:

┌────
│ (+ 2 x)
└────

Inline call to a predefined function : `6'. Works.

Inline "throwaway" code : src_emacs-lisp((+ 2 3)). Does *not* work.

What the…

================================================================

Could some kind soul explain the direction and magnitude of my mistake ?

Sincerely,

The inline code should be enclosed in curly brackets: src_emacs-lisp{(+ 
2 3)}
